White Summer live cover.wmv

An edited down for time (four minutes was all they could allow me) and semi improv version of White Summer, made famous by Jimmy Page but stems back to folk music roots as "she moved through the fair" worked on and combined with eastern tunes by Davy Graham.

The loud tone (too loud in my opinion) comes from a microphone being put too close to my vox DA5 and preamp, amplifying it and pumping out what at home is a loud but enjoyable timbre out of large speakers set on the stage. The guitar is a Bigsby Casino (means it's a Casino with a whammy bar)

This was my first and at this point only real live perfomance of anything so appreciative comments would be, well...appreciated.

The gig wasn't a biggie, just the local public music class I go to arranging something for the parents, and me managing to get in on some of the action =)

enjoy!

this cover sucks and you should have listened to your initital perfectionist instinct and not have performed until you were good
